Funny Women Cyprus tour heads to Limassol

Leading comedian Shazia Mirza will be appearing at the Londa Hotel in Limassol Cyprus as part of the Funny Women tour, for a one-off performance. Sponsored by GB Airways, this is a series of events featuring top British female comedy talent from leading promoters of female comedy, Funny Women, all taking place exclusively at the Londa Hotel.

Shazia will appear on Saturday 19 January, the third artist to perform in the tour.

Described as a cool, smart, opinionated, clever, funny comic, Shazia is established as one of the top female comedians in the UK. From her first appearance with Funny Women in 2002 she now appears regularly on TV, radio, and fills venues with her own brand of incisive wit and observational humour. Drawing on her Asian background and hilarious life experiences Shazia has developed a popular following across the UK and abroad.

Last year the Londa hosted their first comedy evening when Suzy Bennett, winner of the Funny Women Awards 2006, performed to an enthusiastic crowd in the autumn. This success prompted the development of this exclusive tour in Cyprus.

Jochen Niemann, General Manager of the Londa explains: “We were so impressed by the response to our first comedy evening last year that we agreed to host a series of events featuring Funny Women artistes in 2007. Our designer boutique hotel with its lively outlets has become the place to be seen for the cognoscenti of Cyprus. So hosting a Funny Women tour is a perfect way to develop our unique offer for guests, both for locals and the tourist market.”

Isabelle Baret from the GB Airways communications department comments: “We are extremely proud to sponsor the Funny Women tour at the exclusive Londa in Cyprus.”

Funny Women runs the UK’s only dedicated awards for new female comedy talent and is now in its 5th year. The awards have become a platform for launching the careers of a great number of artistes. The Londa became a partner in the Awards for the first time last year, providing a prize of a week’s luxury holiday for two at this new 5 star boutique hotel in Limassol. Flights were provided courtesy of British Airways Club Europe.

The show starts at 8.30 pm in the Alpha Omega Ballroom. Kindly note that there is a limited number of seats. A cover charge of £5.00 will apply and all proceeds will be donated to the Cyprus Anticancer Society, Anticancersociety.org.cy.

All Funny Women events aim to raise money and awareness for causes that affect women.
